9 Best Guided Mindfulness Meditations

Mindfulness meditation is a great way to reduce stress, find inner peace, improve your mindfulness, and get a better nights sleep. One of the best ways to practice is with guided mindfulness meditation videos. In today’s post I am sharing some of our favorites. I hope that you find them helpful in your practice.

When we first started practicing mindfulness meditation we used guided videos a lot. Having someone walk us through the steps and keep us focused was a huge help. Now, after a couple years of practice, we still use guided meditations and know several others who do too.

If you are looking to learn more I recently published a short guide to mindfulness meditation. It only takes a few minutes to read and I walk you through the basics. Also, several of the guides below have great introductions to mindfulness that you might want to watch.

My Current Favorite Guided Mindfulness Meditations

This guided meditation by Dave Gardner is really relaxing and inspiring. Dave does a great job of making this meditation accessible and I love that this meditation is filmed outside and has plenty of nature sounds. I do a lot of outdoor meditations and this video really delivers that experience.

I just recently found Mindfulness with Alison and have really enjoyed her videos. In this video Alison (@alicanavan) guides us through a full body scan. She has a great accent and her voice is calming enough that if I did this lying down I might fall asleep.

Fall Asleep to this Soothing Guided Meditation With Rachel Richards

Guided Mindfulness Meditation for Sleep with Dr. Lucy Marie

This is Dr Lucy Marie’s (@drlucymarie) first video and I hope she makes more. I enjoyed how she presented her meditation, especially how short it was. At 12 minutes I was able to relax and doze off but it didn’t keep on long enough to wake me back up.
